The amount of unclaimed land equals 438.71 hectares, with an estimated value of more than NTD18.46 billion (USD664.76 million). Sanxia District has the most unclaimed plots of land, while Sanchong District has the highest number of unclaimed buildings.
The Department of Land Administration revealed that the various properties belong to 2,064 inheritors, and they should register for their land or buildings as soon as possible.
According to the department, there were 10,728 unclaimed plots of land and 558 unclaimed buildings in New Taipei City in 2020.
Moreover, the department said the main reasons for these unclaimed properties include inheritors residing overseas, ongoing negotiations between multiple inheritors, and controversies surrounding the properties.
